I just added a new contact page on my blog, and I use the Contact Form 7 plugin. For some reason, when I go to my blog now, it constantly redirects to the new contact page! I looked at .htaccess files - nothing seem to have been changes. Anybody has any idea why this is happening?

Even when I remove the contact page, my blog still redirects to /blog/contact.

Edit: I managed to find the cause of the problem, and I posted a solution below.

After looking for the problem for a while, I decided to search in the MySQL database for the word "contact", and I noticed that a table called wp_redirection_items indeed contained an entry which redirected from /blog/ to /blog/contact. A quick Google search has led me to this page, explaining the problem - it's caused by the Redirection plugin's URL Monitoring feature. I ended up manually removing the offending entry from the database, and it solved my problem.

This is not a classic forum, you should not post a followup question as an "answer". Instead, use the "Ask Question" button at the top of this page. You can then delete this "answer" to keep the site clean.
